Abstract: Gravitational wave (GW) events, particularly those connected to the merger of compact objects such as neutron stars, are believed to be the primary source of short gamma-ray bursts. To explore the very high energy (VHE) component of the emission from these events, the H.E.S.S. collaboration has dedicated a substantial effort and observing time to follow up on these events. During the second and third GW observing runs, H.E.S.S. was the first ground-based instrument to observe the GW170817 binary neutron star merger. In addition, H.E.S.S. followed four binary black hole mergers. The data acquired by H.E.S.S. was used to constrain the VHE emission from these events for the first time. H.E.S.S. also monitored the GW170817 source for approximately 50 hours and obtained limits that constrained the magnetic field in the merger remnant to $> 24 \mu G$. As the fourth GW observing run (O4) approaches, the H.E.S.S. collaboration has allocated significant observation time to the follow-up of GW events. This contribution provides an overview of the science results derived from the H.E.S.S. follow-up of GW events, a technical overview of the GW follow-up strategies for O4, and an update on H.E.S.S. activities during O4., Comment: Proceedings 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2023)

Abstract: Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) detect very high energetic (VHE) gamma rays. They observe the Cherenkov light emitted in electromagnetic shower cascades that gamma rays induce in the atmosphere. A precise reconstruction of the primary photon energy and the source flux depends heavily on accurate Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the shower propagation and the detector response, and therefore also on adequate assumptions about the atmosphere at the site and time of a measurement. Here, we present the results of an extensive validation of the MC simulations for an analysis chain of the H.E.S.S. experiment with special focus on the recently installed FlashCam camera on the large 28 m telescope. One goal of this work was to create a flexible and easy-to-use framework to facilitate the detailed validation of MC simulations also for past and future phases of the H.E.S.S. experiment. Guided by the underlying physics, the detector simulation and the atmospheric transmission profiles were gradually improved until low level parameters such as cosmic ray (CR) trigger rates matched within a few percent between simulations and observational data. This led to instrument response functions (IRFs) with which the analysis of current H.E.S.S. data can ultimately be carried out within percent accuracy, substantially improving earlier simulations., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 1 table.

Abstract: The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the currently operating Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. H.E.S.S. operates in the broad energy range from a few tens of GeV to more than 50 TeV reaching its best sensitivity around 1 TeV. In this contribution, we present an analysis technique, which is optimised for the detection at the highest energies accessible to H.E.S.S. and aimed to improve the sensitivity above 10 TeV. It includes the employment of improved event direction reconstruction and gamma-hadron separation. For the first time, also extensive air showers with event offsets up to 4.5$^{\circ}$ from the camera centre are considered in the analysis, thereby increasing the effective Field-of-View of H.E.S.S. from 5$^{\circ}$ to 9$^{\circ}$. Key performance parameters of the new high-energy analysis are presented and its applicability demonstrated for representative hard-spectrum sources in the Milky Way., Comment: Proceedings of the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2021)

Abstract: Since 2015, the direct detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs) became possible with ground-based interferometers like LIGO and Virgo. GWs became the center of attention of the astronomical community and electromagnetic observatories took a particular interest in follow-up observations of such events. The main setback of these observations is the poor localization of GW events. In fact, GW localization uncertainties can span tens to hundreds of deg$^{2}$ the sky even with the advanced configurations of current GW interferometers. In this contribution, we present five follow-up strategies developed for the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) and assess their performances. We show how a 2D and 3D galaxy targeted search approach exploiting the integral probability inside the instruments field of view are best suited for medium field of view instruments like H.E.S.S. We also develop an automatic response scheme within the H.E.S.S. Transient Follow-up system that is optimized for fast response and is capable of responding promptly to all kind of GW alerts. GW events are filtered by the developed scheme and prompt and afterglow observations are automatically scheduled. The H.E.S.S. response latency to prompt alerts is measured to be less than 1 minute. With this continually optimized GW response scheme, H.E.S.S. scheduled several GW follow-up observations during the second and third LIGO/Virgo observation runs., Comment: Proceedings of the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2021), 12-23 July 2021, Berlin, Germany - Online

5. The young massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1 in $\gamma$ rays as seen with H.E.S.S

Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: Massive stellar clusters have recently been hypothesised as candidates for the acceleration of hadronic cosmic rays up to PeV energies. Previously, the H.E.S.S. Collaboration has reported about very extended $\gamma$-ray emission around Westerlund 1, a massive young stellar cluster in the Milky Way. In this contribution we present an updated analysis that employs a new analysis technique and is based on a much larger data set, allowing us to constrain better the morphology and the energy spectrum of the emission. The analysis technique used is a three-dimensional likelihood analysis, which is especially well suited for largely extended sources. The origin of the $\gamma$-ray emission will be discussed in light of multi-wavelength observations., Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, ICRC 2021 conference proceedings

Abstract: The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of five Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Khomas Highland of Namibia. H.E.S.S. observes gamma rays above tens of GeV by detecting the Cherenkov light that is produced when Very High Energy gamma rays interact with the Earth's atmosphere. The H.E.S.S. Data Acquisition System (DAQ) coordinates the nightly telescope operations, ensuring that the various components communicate properly and behave as intended. It also provides the interface between the telescopes and the people on shift who guide the operations. The DAQ comprises both the hardware and software, and since the beginning of H.E.S.S., both elements have been continuously adapted to improve the data-taking capabilities of the array and push the limits of what H.E.S.S. is capable of. Most recently, this includes the upgrade of the entire computing cluster hosting the DAQ software, and the accommodation of a new camera on the large 28m H.E.S.S. telescope. We discuss the performance of the upgraded DAQ and the lessons learned from these activities., Comment: Proceedings of the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2021)

Abstract: We present here, follow-up observations of four Binary black hole BBH events performed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in the Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray domain during the second and third LIGO/Virgo observation runs. Detailed analyses of the obtained data did not show significant VHE emission. We derive integral upper limit maps considering a generic $E^{-2}$ source spectrum in the most sensitive H.E.S.S energy interval ranging from 1 to 10 TeV. We also consider Extragalactic Background Light absorption effects and derive integral upper limits over the full accessible energy range. We finally derive upper limits of the VHE luminosity for each event and compare them with the expected VHE emission from GRBs. These comparisons allow us to assess the H.E.S.S. gravitational wave follow-up strategies. For the fourth GW observing run O4, we do not expect to fundamentally alter our observing strategy, and will continue to prioritize sky coverage like for the previous runs, Comment: Proceedings of the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2021), 12-23 July 2021, Berlin, Germany - Online

Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: In a collaboration between astroparticle physicists, animation artists from the award-winning Science Communication Lab, and musician Carsten Nicolai (a.k.a. Alva Noto), two cosmic particle accelerators have been brought to life: the massive binary star Eta Carinae, and the exploding star, which resulted in the gamma-ray burst GRB190829A. For Eta Carinae, the computer-generated images are close to reality because the measured orbital, stellar and wind parameters were used for this purpose. Particle acceleration in the jet of GRB190829A has also been animated at a level of detail not seen before. The internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Carsten Nicolai, who uses the pseudonym Alva Noto for his musical works, exclusively composed the sound for the animations. The multimedia projects aim at making the discoveries more accessible to the general public, and to mediate scientific results and their reference to reality from an artistic point of view., Comment: Presented at the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2021)

Abstract: Kepler's supernova remnant (SNR) which is produced by the most recent naked-eye supernova in our Galaxy is one of the best studied SNRs, but its gamma-ray detection has eluded us so far. Observations with modern imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) have enlarged the knowledge about nearby SNRs with ages younger than 500 years by establishing Cassiopeia A and Tycho's SNRs as very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray sources and setting a lower limit on the distance to Kepler's SNR. This SNR is significantly more distant than the other two and expected to be one of the faintest gamma-ray sources within reach of the IACT arrays of this generation. We report strong evidence for a VHE signal from Kepler's SNR based on deep observations of the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) with an exposure of 152 hours, including 122 hours accumulated in 2017-2020. We further discuss implications of this result for cosmic-ray acceleration in young SNRs., Comment: Proceedings of the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2021)

Abstract: Gravitational Wave (GW) events are physical processes that significantly perturbate space-time, e.g. compact binary coalescenses, causing the production of GWs. The detection of GWs by a worldwide network of advanced interferometers offer unique opportunities for multi-messenger searches and electromagnetic counterpart associations. While carrying extremely useful information, searches for associated electromagnetic emission are challenging due to large sky localisation uncertainties provided by the current GW observatories LIGO and Virgo. Here we present the methods and procedures used within the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in searches for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission associated to the emission of GWs from extreme events. To do so we create several algorithms dedicated to schedule GW follow-up observations by creating optimized pointing paterns. We describe algorithms using 2-dimensional GW localisation information and algorithms correlating the galaxy distribution in the local universe, by using galaxy catalogs, with the 3-dimensional GW localisation information and evaluate their performances. The H.E.S.S. automatic GW follow-up chain, described in this paper, is optimized to initiate GW follow-up observations within less than 1 minute after the alert reception. These developements allowed H.E.S.S. observations of 6 GW events out of the 67 non-retracted GW events detected during the first three observation runs of LIGO and Virgo reaching VHE $\gamma$-ray coverages of up to 70% of the GW localisation., Comment: 27 pages, 15 figures

Abstract: The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the three arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) currently in operation. It is composed of four 12-meter telescopes and a 28-meter one, and is sensitive to gamma rays in the energy range ~30 GeV - 100 TeV. The cameras of the 12-m telescopes recently underwent a substantial upgrade, with the goal of improving their performance and robustness. The upgrade involved replacing all camera components except for the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This meant developing new hardware for the trigger, readout, power, cooling and mechanical systems, and new software for camera control and data acquisition. Several novel technologies were employed in the cameras: the readout is built around the new NECTAr digitizer chip, developed for the next generation of IACTs; the camera electronics is fully controlled and read out via Ethernet using a combination of FPGA and embedded ARM computers; the software uses modern libraries such as Apache Thrift, ZMQ and Protocol buffers. This work describes in detail the design and the performance of the upgraded cameras., Comment: 35 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in "Astroparticle physics"

Abstract: The detection of an astrophysical flux of high-energy neutrinos by IceCube is a major step forward in the search for the origin of cosmic rays, as this emission is expected to originate in hadronic interactions taking place in or near cosmic-ray accelerators. No neutrino point sources, or significant correlation with known astrophysical objects, have been identified in the IceCube data so far. The hadronic interactions responsible for the neutrino emission should also lead to the production of high-energy gamma rays. The search for neutrino sources can then be performed by studying the spatial and temporal correlations between neutrino events and very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. We report here on the search for VHE gamma-ray emission with the H.E.S.S. imaging air Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) at the reconstructed position of muon neutrino events detected by IceCube. We will provide an up-to-date summary of the extensive program to perform prompt IACT observations of realtime IceCube neutrino event positions. A recent highlight of this program are the H.E.S.S. observations during the broad multi-wavelength campaign that followed the detection of the neutrino event IceCube-170922A arriving from a direction consistent with the location of a flaring gamma-ray blazar TXS 0506+056 in September 2017. We'll present the H.E.S.S. observations obtained within ~4h hours of the neutrino detection as well as a complementary search for gamma-ray emission at longer timescales and put them into the multi-wavelength and multi-messenger context., Comment: Proceedings of the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 2019, Madison, WI, USA

Abstract: The recent milestones in multi-messenger astronomy have opened new ways to study the Unverse. The unprecedented gravitational wave (GW) follow-up campaigns established the power that the combination of different messengers has to identify and study the nature and evolution of astrophysical phenomena. Here we focus on the search for high-energy gamma ray emission as electromagnetic counterpart of compact binary coalescences with the H.E.S.S. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). In this contribution, the optimized strategies developed specifically for the prompt follow-up of gravitational wave events with H.E.S.S are presented. As illustration, the successful observation campaigns up to this time will be described, including the ones during Observation Run O2 on the binary black hole (BH-BH) merger GW170814 and the binary neutron star (NS-NS) merger GW170817, and an update on recent events occurring during O3. Results of these searches are presented and the constraints that prompt observations can put on very-high-energy, non-thermal emission, are briefly discussed. Finally, an outlook on further improvements for the gravitational waves follow-up program with H.E.S.S. will be provided.

15. Magnetic field estimates from the X-ray synchrotron emitting rims of the 30 Dor C superbubble and the implications for the nature of 30 Dor C's TeV emission

Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: The 30 Dor C superbubble is unique for its synchrotron X-ray shell, as well as being the first superbubble to be detected in TeV $\gamma$-rays, though the dominant TeV emission mechanism, i.e., leptonic or hadronic, is still unclear. We aim to use new Chandra observations of 30 Dor C to resolve the synchrotron shell in unprecedented detail and to estimate the magnetic ($B$) field in the postshock region, a key discriminator between TeV $\gamma$-ray emission mechanisms. We extracted radial profiles in the 1.5-8 keV range from various sectors around the synchrotron shell and fitted these with a projected and point spread function convolved postshock volumetric emissivity model to determine the filament widths. We then calculated the postshock magnetic field strength from these widths. We found that most of the sectors were well fitted with our postshock model and the determined $B$-field values were low, all with best fits $\lesssim 20~\mu$G. Upper limits on the confidence intervals of three sectors reached $\gtrsim 30~\mu$G though these were poorly constrained. The generally low $B$-field values suggests a leptonic-dominated origin for the TeV $\gamma$-rays. Our postshock model did not provide adequate fits to two sectors. We found that one sector simply did not provide a clean enough radial profile, while the other could be fitted with a modified model where the projected profile falls off abruptly below $\sim0.8$ times the shell radius, yielding a postshock $B$-field of 4.8 (3.7-11.8) $\mu$G which is again consistent with the leptonic TeV $\gamma$-ray mechanism. Alternatively, the observed profiles in these sectors could result from enhancements around a shock-cloud interaction as suggested in previous works. The average $B$-field determined around the X-ray synchrotron shell of 30 Dor C suggests the leptonic scenario as the dominant emission mechanism for the TeV $\gamma$-rays., Comment: 16 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics

16. On the expected $\gamma$-ray emission from nearby flaring stars

Author: Ohm, Stefan and Hoischen, Clemens
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics
Abstract: Stellar flares have been extensively studied in soft X-rays (SXR) by basically every X-ray mission. Hard X-ray (HXR) emission from stellar superflares, however, have only been detected from a handful of objects over the past years. One very extreme event was the superflare from the young M-dwarf DG CVn binary star system, which triggered Swift/BAT as if it was a $\gamma$-ray burst (GRB). In this work, we estimate the expected $\gamma$-ray emission from DG CVn and the most extreme stellar flares by extrapolating from solar flares based on measured solar energetic particles (SEPs), as well as thermal and non-thermal emission properties. We find that ions are plausibly accelerated in stellar superflares to 100 GeV energies, and possibly up to TeV energies in the associated coronal mass ejections. The corresponding $\pi^0$-decay $\gamma$-ray emission could be detectable from stellar superflares with ground-based $\gamma$-ray telescopes. On the other hand, the detection of $\gamma$-ray emission implies particle densities high enough that ions suffer significant losses due to inelastic proton-proton scattering. The next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) should be able to probe superflares from M-dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood and constrain the energy in interacting cosmic rays and/or their maximum energy. The detection of $\gamma$-ray emission from stellar flares would open a new window for the study of stellar physics, the underlying physical processes in flares and their impact on habitability of planetary systems., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables

17. Starburst galaxies as seen by gamma-ray telescopes

Author: Ohm, Stefan
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: Starburst galaxies have a highly increased star-formation rate compared to regular galaxies and inject huge amounts of kinetic power into the interstellar medium via supersonic stellar winds, and supernova explosions. Supernova remnants, which are considered to be the main source of cosmic rays (CRs), form an additional, significant energy and pressure component and might influence the star-formation process in a major way. Observations of starburst galaxies at \gamma-ray energies gives us the unique opportunity to study non-thermal phenomena associated with hadronic CRs and their relation to the star-formation process. In this work, recent observations of starburst galaxies with space and ground-based \gamma-ray telescopes are being reviewed and the current state of theoretical work on the \gamma-ray emission is discussed. A special emphasis is put on the prospects of the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array for the study of starburst galaxies in particular and star-forming galaxies in general., Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures.

Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory will be one of the largest ground-based very high-energy gamma-ray observatories. The On-Site Analysis will be the first CTA scientific analysis of data acquired from the array of telescopes, in both northern and southern sites. The On-Site Analysis will have two pipelines: the Level-A pipeline (also known as Real-Time Analysis, RTA) and the level-B one. The RTA performs data quality monitoring and must be able to issue automated alerts on variable and transient astrophysical sources within 30 seconds from the last acquired Cherenkov event that contributes to the alert, with a sensitivity not worse than the one achieved by the final pipeline by more than a factor of 3. The Level-B Analysis has a better sensitivity (not be worse than the final one by a factor of 2) and the results should be available within 10 hours from the acquisition of the data: for this reason this analysis could be performed at the end of an observation or next morning. The latency (in particular for the RTA) and the sensitivity requirements are challenging because of the large data rate, a few GByte/s. The remote connection to the CTA candidate site with a rather limited network bandwidth makes the issue of the exported data size extremely critical and prevents any kind of processing in real-time of the data outside the site of the telescopes. For these reasons the analysis will be performed on-site with infrastructures co-located with the telescopes, with limited electrical power availability and with a reduced possibility of human intervention. This means, for example, that the on-site hardware infrastructure should have low-power consumption. A substantial effort towards the optimization of high-throughput computing service is envisioned to provide hardware and software solutions with high-throughput, low-power consumption at a low-cost., Comment: In Proceedings of the 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2015), The Hague, The Netherlands.

Abstract: Recent observations of binary systems obtained with the H.E.S.S. telescopes are providing crucial information on the physics of relativistic outflows and the engines powering them. We report here on new H.E.S.S. results on HESS J0632+057, PSR B1259-63/LS 2883, Eta Carinae and the recently discovered source HESS J1018-589. Despite the high-quality data obtained in the last years through both ground and space-based gamma-ray detectors, many questions on the mechanisms that permit binary systems to emit at gamma-rays remain open. In particular, it is becoming apparent that emission at high and very-high energies is uncorrelated in some gamma-ray binary systems, with bright GeV flares not observed at TeV energies (e.g. PSR B1259-63), and sources periodically detected at VHEs which are lacking its HE counterpart (e.g. HESS J0632+057). Our results mainly confirm the predictions derived previously for the studied sources, but unexpected results are also found in a few cases, which are discussed in the context of contemporaneous observations at lower energies., Comment: In Proceedings of the 33rd International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2013), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

20. Non-thermal emission from Pulsar-Wind Nebulae in Starburst Galaxies

Author: Ohm, Stefan and Hinton, Jim
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: The recently detected gamma-ray emission from Starburst galaxies is most commonly considered to be diffuse emission arising from strong interactions of accelerated cosmic rays. Mannheim et al. (2012), however, have argued that a population of individual pulsar-wind nebulae (PWNe) could be responsible for the detected TeV emission. Here we show that the Starburst environment plays a critical role in the TeV emission from Starburst PWNe, and perform the first detailed calculations for this scenario. Our approach is based on the measured star-formation rates in the Starburst nuclei of NGC 253 and M 82, assumed pulsar birth periods and a simple model for the injection of non-thermal particles. The two-zone model applied here takes into account the high far-infrared radiation field, and different densities and magnetic fields in the PWNe and the Starburst regions, as well as particle escape. We confirm that PWNe can make a significant contribution to the TeV fluxes, provided that the injection spectrum of particles is rather hard and that the average pulsar birth period is rather short (~35 ms). The PWN contribution should lead to a distinct spectral feature which can be probed by future instruments such as CTA., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS Letters

21. \gamma-rays from starburst galaxies

Author: Ohm, Stefan
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: In this paper the current status of \gamma-ray observations of starburst galaxies from hundreds of MeV up to TeV energies with space-based instruments and ground-based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) is summarised. The properties of the high-energy (HE; 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) and very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) emission of the archetypical starburst galaxies M 82 and NGC 253 are discussed and put into context with the HE \gamma-ray emission detected from other galaxies that show enhanced star-formation activity such as NGC 4945 and NGC 1068. Finally, prospects to study the star-formation - \gamma-ray emission connection from Galactic systems to entire galaxies with the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) are outlined., Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, solicited talk, to be published in High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (eds.

22. Exploring the nature of the unidentified VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1507-622

Author: Domainko, Wilfried and Ohm, Stefan
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: The nature of the first unidentified VHE gamma-ray source with significant angular offset from the Galactic plane of 3.5 degrees, HESS J1507-622, is explored. Fermi-LAT data in the high-energy (HE, 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) gamma-ray range collected over 34 month are used to describe the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the source. HESS J1507-622 is detected in the Fermi energy range and its spectrum is best described by a power law in energy with Gamma=1.7 +/- 0.1 stat +/- 0.2_sys and integral flux between (0.3-300) GeV of F = (2.0 +/-0.5_stat +/- 1.0_sys) x 10^-9 cm^-2 s^-1. With the available data it is not possible to discriminate between a hadronic and a leptonic scenario for HESS J1507-622. The location and compactness of the source indicate a considerable physical offset from the Galactic plane for this object. In case of a multiple-kpc distance, this challenges a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) origin for HESS J1507-622 since the time of travel for a pulsar born in the Galactic disk to reach such a location would exceed the inverse Compton (IC) cooling time of electrons that are energetic enough to produce VHE gamma-rays. However, an origin of this gamma-ray source connected to a pulsar that was born off the Galactic plane in the explosion of a hypervelocity star cannot be excluded. The nature of HESS J1507-622 is still unknown to date, and a PWN scenario cannot be ruled out in general. On the contrary HESS J1507-622 could be the first discovered representative of a population of spatially extended VHE gamma-ray emitters with HE gamma-ray counterpart that are located at considerable offsets from the Galactic plane. Future surveys in the VHE gamma-ray range are necessary to probe the presence or absence of such a source population.(abridged), Comment: accepted for publication in A&A, 7 pages, 3 figures

23. H.E.S.S. deeper observations on SNR RX J0852.0-4622

Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract: Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are believed to be acceleration sites of Galactic cosmic rays. Therefore, deep studies of these objects are instrumental for an understanding of the high energy processes in our Galaxy. RX J0852.0-4622, also known as Vela Junior, is one of the few (4) shell-type SNRs resolved at Very High Energies (VHE; E > 100 GeV). It is one of the largest known VHE sources (~ 1.0 deg radius) and its flux level is comparable to the flux level of the Crab Nebula in the same energy band. These characteristics allow for a detailed analysis, shedding further light on the high-energy processes taking place in the remnant. In this document we present further details on the spatial and spectral morphology derived with an extended data set. The analysis of the spectral morphology of the remnant is compatible with a constant power-law photon index of 2.11 +/- 0.05_stat +/- 0.20_syst from the whole SNR in the energy range from 0.5 TeV to 7 TeV. The analysis of the spatial morphology shows an enhanced emission towards the direction of the pulsar PSR J0855-4644, however as the pulsar is lying on the rim of the SNR, it is difficult to disentangle both contributions. Therefore, assuming a point source, the upper limit on the flux of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) between 1 TeV and 10 TeV, is estimated to be ~ 2% of the Crab Nebula flux in the same energy range.

24. Escape from Vela X

Author: Hinton, James, Funk, Stefan, Parsons, Robert, and Ohm, Stefan
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract: Whilst the Vela pulsar and its associated nebula are often considered as the archetype of a system powered by a \sim10^4 year old isolated neutron star, many features of the spectral energy distribution of this pulsar wind nebula are both puzzling and unusual. Here we develop a model that for the first time relates the main structures in the system, the extended radio nebula (ERN) and the X-ray cocoon through continuous injection of particles with a fixed spectral shape. We argue that diffusive escape of particles from the ERN can explain the steep Fermi-LAT spectrum. In this scenario Vela X should produce a distinct feature in the locally-measured cosmic ray electron spectrum at very high energies. This prediction can be tested in the future using the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). If particles are indeed released early in the evolution of PWNe and can avoid severe adiabatic losses, PWN provide a natural explanation for the rising positron fraction in the local CR spectrum., Comment: Accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letters

25. Discovery of VHE gamma-ray emission from the W49 region with H.E.S.S

Author: Brun, Francois, de Naurois, Mathieu, Hofmann, Werner, Carrigan, Svenja, Djannati-Ataï, Arache, and Ohm, Stefan
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: The W49 region hosts two bright radio sources: the star forming region W49A and the supernova remnant W49B. The 10^6 M_odot Giant Molecular Cloud W49A is one of the most luminous giant radio HII regions in our Galaxy and hosts several active, high-mass star formation sites. The mixed-morphology supernova remnant W49B has one of the highest surface brightness in radio of all the SNRs of this class in our Galaxy and is one of the brightest ejecta-dominated SNRs in X-rays. Infrared observations evidenced that W49B is interacting with molecular clouds and Fermi recently reported the detection of a coincident bright, high-energy gamma-ray source. Observations by the H.E.S.S. telescope array resulted in the significant detection of VHE gamma-ray emission from the W49 region, compatible with VHE emission from the SNR W49B. The results, the morphology and the origin of the VHE emission are presented in the multi-wavelength context and the implications on the origin of the signal are discussed., Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures.

26. H.E.S.S. observations of massive stellar clusters

Author: Ohm, Stefan, Horns, Dieter, Reimer, Olaf, Hinton, Jim, Rowell, Gavin, Wilhelmi, Emma de Oña, Fernandes, Milton Virgilio, Acero, Fabio, and Marcowith, Alexandre
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: Stellar clusters are potential acceleration sites of very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100GeV) particles since they host supernova remnants (SNRs) and pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). Additionally, in stellar clusters, particles can also be accelerated e.g. at the boundaries of wind-blown bubbles, in colliding wind zones in massive binary systems or in the framework of collective wind or wind/supernova(SN) ejecta scenarios. Motivated by the detection of VHE gamma-ray emission towards Westerlund 2 and assuming similar particle acceleration mechanisms at work, Westerlund 1 is an even more promising target for VHE gamma-ray observations given that massive star content and distance are more favorable for detectable VHE gamma-ray emission compared to Westerlund 2. Here, H.E.S.S. observations of massive stellar clusters in general with special emphasis on the most massive stellar cluster in the galaxy, Westerlund 1 are summarized., Comment: Invited talk at HEPIMS Workshop (Jaen 2009); 10 pages, 4 figures, to appear in PASP

27. Gamma-Hadron Separation in Very-High-Energy gamma-ray astronomy using a multivariate analysis method

Author: Ohm, Stefan, van Eldik, Christopher, and Egberts, Kathrin
Subjects: Astrophysics - Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics, Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: In recent years, Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) have discovered a rich diversity of very high energy (VHE, > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emitters in the sky. These instruments image Cherenkov light emitted by gamma-ray induced particle cascades in the atmosphere. Background from the much more numerous cosmic-ray cascades is efficiently reduced by considering the shape of the shower images, and the capability to reduce this background is one of the key aspects that determine the sensitivity of a IACT. In this work we apply a tree classification method to data from the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). We show the stability of the method and its capabilities to yield an improved background reduction compared to the H.E.S.S.

Abstract: Zenodo (2022). doi:10.5281/ZENODO.7400326 special issue: "HESS technical note", The purpose of this technical document is to assess the effect of a gain reduction on low- and high-level analysis results and to investigate the option of using a common lowered gain for both, dark and moonlight observations. Using a sequence of six Crab Nebula runs taken at alternating gain settings, it was shown that decreasing the gain factor from 80 to 60 Analog-to-digital counts per photo-electron (ADC/pe) has no significant effect on the telescope system sensitivity under dark-sky conditions. This result confirms expectations that such a change in gain has a comparatively small effect on the signal readout. In particular, the following results were obtained: 1. The trigger rates and event statistics are comparable for both gains. 2. The distributions of Hillas parameters are consistent for both gains. 3. The spectral analysis results are consistent within about 10%. The efficiency of detecting gamma rays is energy-independent and consistent for both gains, indicating no loss of performance at any energy., Published by Zenodo

Abstract: Science / Science now 376(6588), 77 - 80 (2022). doi:10.1126/science.abn0567, Recurrent novae are repeating thermonuclear explosions in the outer layers of white dwarfs, due to the accretion of fresh material from a binary companion. The shock generated when ejected material slams into the companion star’s wind can accelerate particles. We report very-high-energy (VHE; ≳100 giga–electron volts≳100 giga–electron volts) gamma rays from the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, up to 1 month after its 2021 outburst, observed using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). The temporal profile of VHE emission is similar to that of lower-energy giga–electron volt emission, indicating a common origin, with a 2-day delay in peak flux. These observations constrain models of time-dependent particle energization, favoring a hadronic emission scenario over the leptonic alternative. Shocks in dense winds provide favorable environments for efficient acceleration of cosmic rays to very high energies., Published by Assoc., Washington, DC

Abstract: The identification of PeVatrons, hadronic particle accelerators reaching the knee of the cosmic ray spectrum (few $10^{15}$ eV), is crucial to understand the origin of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. We provide an update on the unidentified source HESS J1702-420, a promising PeVatron candidate. We present new observations of HESS J1702-420 made with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), and processed using improved analysis techniques. The analysis configuration was optimized to enhance the collection area at the highest energies. We applied a three-dimensional (3D) likelihood analysis to model the source region and adjust non thermal radiative spectral models to the $\gamma$-ray data. We also analyzed archival data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) to constrain the source spectrum at $\gamma$-ray energies >10 GeV. We report the detection of a new source component called HESS J1702-420A, that was separated from the bulk of TeV emission at a $5.4\sigma$ confidence level. The power law $\gamma$-ray spectrum of HESS J1702-420A extends with an index of $\Gamma=1.53\pm0.19_\text{stat}\pm0.20_\text{sys}$ and without curvature up to the energy band 64-113 TeV, in which it was detected by H.E.S.S. at a $4.0\sigma$ confidence level. This brings evidence for the source emission up to $100\,\text{TeV}$, which makes HESS J1702-420A a compelling candidate site for the presence of extremely high energy cosmic rays. Remarkably, in a hadronic scenario, the cut-off energy of the proton distribution powering HESS J1702-420A is found to be higher than 0.5 PeV at a 95% confidence level. HESS J1702-420A becomes therefore one of the most solid PeVatron candidates detected so far in H.E.S.S. data, altough a leptonic origin of its emission could not be ruled out either., Comment: Accepted for publication in the 2.

Abstract: 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference, ICRC 2021, Berlin, Germany - Online, 12 Jul 2021 - 23 Jul 2021; Proceedings of Science / International School for Advanced Studies (ICRC2021), 779 (2021). doi:10.22323/1.395.0779, Detecting and studying galactic gamma-ray sources emitting very-high energy photons sheds light on the acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays presumably created in these sources. Currently, there are few sources emitting photons with energies exceeding 100 TeV. In this work we revisit the unidentified source MGRO J1908+06, initially detected by Milagro, using an updated H.E.S.S. dataset and analysis pipeline. The vicinity of the source contains a supernova remnant and pulsars as well as molecular clouds. This makes the identification of the primary source(s) of galactic cosmic rays as well as the nature of the gamma-ray emission challenging, especially in light of the recent HAWC and LHAASO detection of the high energy tail of its spectrum. Exploiting the better angular resolution as compared to particle detectors, we investigate the morphology of the source as well as its spectral properties., Published by SISSA, Trieste

Abstract: The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located in Namibia. It was built to detect Very High Energy (VHE, >100 GeV) cosmic gamma rays, and consists of four 12 m diameter Cherenkov telescopes (CT1-4), built in 2003, and a larger 28 m telescope (CT5), built in 2012. The larger mirror surface of CT5 permits to lower the energy threshold of the array down to 30 GeV. The cameras of CT1-4 are currently undergoing an extensive upgrade, with the goals of reducing their failure rate, reducing their readout dead time and improving the overall performance of the array. The entire camera electronics has been renewed from ground-up, as well as the power, ventilation and pneumatics systems, and the control and data acquisition software. Technical solutions forseen for the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory have been introduced, most notably the readout is based on the NECTAr analog memory chip. The camera control subsystems and the control software framework also pursue an innovative design, increasing the camera performance, robustness and flexibility. The CT1 camera has been upgraded in July 2015 and is currently taking data; CT2-4 will upgraded in Fall 2016. Together they will assure continuous operation of H.E.S.S at its full sensitivity until and possibly beyond the advent of CTA. This contribution describes the design, the testing and the in-lab and on-site performance of all components of the newly upgraded H.E.S.S. camera.

Abstract: Physical review / D 103(10), 102002 (2021). doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.102002, We search for an indirect signal of dark matter through very high-energy γ rays from the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM) dwarf irregular galaxy. The pair annihilation of dark matter particles would produce Standard Model particles in the final state such as γ rays, which might be detected by ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. Dwarf irregular galaxies represent promising targets as they are dark matter dominated objects with well-measured kinematics and small uncertainties on their dark matter distribution profiles. In 2018, the five-telescopes of the high energy stereoscopic system observed the dwarf irregular galaxy WLM for 18 hours. We present the first analysis based on data obtained from an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope for this subclass of dwarf galaxy. As we do not observe any significant excess in the direction of WLM, we interpret the result in terms of constraints on the velocity-weighted cross section for dark matter pair annihilation ⟨σv⟩ as a function of the dark matter particle mass for various continuum channels, as well as the prompt γγ emission. For the τ+τ- channel, the limits reach a ⟨σv⟩ value of about 4×10-22 cm3 s-1 for a dark matter particle mass of 1 TeV. For the prompt γγ channel, the upper limit reaches a ⟨σv⟩ value of about 5×10-24 cm3 s-1 for a mass of 370 GeV. These limits represent an improvement of up to a factor 200, with respect to previous results for the dwarf irregular galaxies for TeV dark matter search., Published by Inst., Melville, NY

Abstract: 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference, ICRC2021, Berlin, Germany - Online, 12 Jul 2021 - 23 Jul 2021; Proceedings of Science / International School for Advanced Studies (ICRC2021), 777 (2021). doi:10.22323/1.395.0777, Fast radio bursts (FRB) are enigmatic powerful single radio pulses with durations of several milliseconds and high brightness temperatures suggesting coherent emission mechanism. For the time being a number of extragalactic FRBs have been detected in the high-frequency radio band including repeating ones. The most plausible explanation for these phenomena is magnetar hyperflares. The first observational evidence of this scenario was obtained in April 2020 when an FRB was detected from the direction of the Galactic magnetar and soft gamma repeater SGR1935+2154. The FRB was preceded with a number of soft gamma-ray bursts observed by Swift-BAT satellite, which triggered the follow-up program of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). H.E.S.S. has observed SGR1935+2154 over a 2 hour window few hours prior to the FRB detection by STARE2 and CHIME. The observations overlapped with other X-ray bursts from the magnetar detected by INTEGRAL and Swift-BAT, thus providing first observations of a magnetar in a flaring state in the very-high energy domain. We present the analysis of these observations, discuss the obtained results and prospects of the H.E.S.S. follow-up program for soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars., Published by SISSA, Trieste

Abstract: 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference, Madison, USA, 24 Jul 2019 - 1 Aug 2019; PoS(ICRC2019)756 (2019)., The detection of the first electromagnetic counterpart to the binaryneutron star merger remnant GW170817 established the connectionbetween short gamma-ray bursts and binary neutron star mergers aswell as it confirmed the forging of heavy elements in the ejecta (a socalledkilonova) via the r process. The brightening of non-thermal radioand X-ray emission, however, came with some surprise and lastedmore than 100 days. Current theoretical models attempt to explain thelight curve as either originating from a relativistic off-axis jet, or akilonova-like outflow. Combining the VLA and Chandra measurementswith observations in the GeV - TeV domain, can help to break theambiguity between energy in non-thermal electrons and magnetic fieldof the emission region, almost independent of the assumed origin ofthe emission. Here we report for the first time on deep H.E.S.S.observations of EM170817 between 120 and 270 days after the binaryneutron star merger with the full H.E.S.S. array of telescopes as wellas on updated prompt (
